Activate Draft Checks¶

Activate a Draft check to put it into Scans. From the next Scan of its table or file, the check is evaluated and its failures produce anomalies. See Check Status.

Permission Required

Activating a check requires the Author team permission on its datastore. See Team Permissions.

Where you can do this

These actions are on the Checks tab of a datastore, a table or file, a field, and a check template. Each one lists the checks of that context, with the same tabs, row menu , and bulk selection.

A check stays Draft when it cannot be activated, and the dialog shows why. For example, when an identical Active check already exists, the reason links to the conflicting check, which you can open in a side panel.
